Summary

The ProfileGrid WordPress plugin before version 6.0.0.0 does not perform authorization checks before returning a group's member list, and registers the handler for unauthenticated users, allowing any unauthenticated visitor to disclose the members and their identifiers of any group, including private or closed ones, bypassing the plugin's member-visibility setting.

Risk Assessment

An unauthenticated attacker can access member lists of private groups, violating user privacy and potentially enabling social engineering or phishing attacks.

Recommendation

Update the ProfileGrid plugin to version 6.0.0.0 or later, which includes a fix adding authorization checks before returning member lists.
